So You Want To Be A God?

So you want to be a god? You want to create someone in your own image and bring that little someone into the world?

God-like joy comes with god-like obligations.

Your creation needs food and care, comfort and love, guidance and support. None of this changes when you don't feel good, don't have a job, or a home, or are unhappy. Have you ever asked God how he feels? Your creation won't ask you either. It is not its job to do so. It doesn't really matter.

Both you and your co-creator have obligations, so when you get tired of each other, you are still tied to your little creation, or big creation, because it doesn't matter how big, or how small, once a child enters this world his well-being comes first.

That means you both stay around and support the little guy until he is capable of supporting himself. How you do this is important, but not half as important as simply doing it. You committed yourself at birth. Now you provide this child with two good parents one way, or another and once these parents take on the job, they are in it for the long haul.

It doesn't matter if your little creation is 20 months, or 20 years. He has the right to two conscientious and informed adults to guide him and they can't do it if they are half way across the country from each other licking their wounds. Wound licking has to be put on the back burner for a couple of decades.

The good news is, if you are not up for the job, there are people dying to do it. Remember this from the get go. Don't be a selfish, egotistical god, be a great one.
